My 1948 9A inexplicably came with (what I now believe to be) an old Aloris AX tool post and six BX holders.
I used the AXA and BXA dimensions given by Rich Carlstedt in an old PM post and drew the dovetails in AutoCAD, printed them, and cut them out. Using these precision gauges, I determined the QCTP is definitely AXA size and the holders are definitely AXB size.
Only one on the holders is marked Aloris.
Several of the tool holders had tooling in them, and all were covered with chips, so I have to assume they were being used on the lathe.
One of the holders -- second from the left -- has a shim welded to it.
I want AXA holders -- and a non-piston tool post, eventually. Anyone want the BX holders?
